The Malawi National Examination Board (MANEB) has disclosed that Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE) exams will now cover work starting from Form One to Form Four.
The new approach on the exams follows the abolishment of Junior Certificate of Education exams.
MANEB disclosed that students are now to prepare for all secondary school work before sitting for MSCE exams.
In a statement made available to Malawi24, the examination body says it has put forth plans to cover all topics and subtopics learned in both senior and junior levels of Malawi’s secondary education.
“The examination syllabus committee will meet to develop new MSCE tables of test specifications based on both junior and senior levels.
“Sample MSCE papers will be developed from the new MSCE tables of test specification and sent to all secondary schools,” reads part of the statement.
However MANEB has disclosed that the change will be effected on candidates sitting for the MSCE exams in 2019.
Even the papers the candidates have been writing contend form one elements, what would be special with this one ?
nothng wrong here,those criticisng the idea are lazy peaple.
Poor government pls stupid
Mmmmm ndikuona ngat zakhara bwino chifukwa ngakhale tikukhara ndi mastfct ambiri koma ntchito zikusowabe amalawi apa tingovomeleza kuti sukulu yatha kumalawi.tatopa ndikuva nyasi .
It’s too much works for students to lead all the books
Kanundu ameyo mwamugula kut ?
Kkkkkk malawi wanga
Zachamba eti! Mitu ya ana sukulu si memory card…
or yaulonda ?
Useless decisions to hell with your education.

its all about money… exams will require a fee end u will c azingodya dolla
Galu za DPP zikifuna kuba basi
Kkkkkk…… In Kenya we sit for exam which comprises of 4 year work. So in Malawi exams has been very easy……?
Whom did you consulted to come up with this burden to the sons & daughters of your own land? As for me I’m agreeing to disagree with you in affirmative, or if that is the case then make four subjects as required per candidate with three as a pass gauge for a certificate award. Finally, Malawians punishing Malawians on education grounds. Alas!
IWE ADMN NDIWAKUTI MESA ZINAYAMBA KALE IZO
Tizakubelani mayeso olo mufunse kuyambira std 1
kkk i won’t pussyfoot on this idea. we’ve millions granaries of failures though piple sit for two classes included exams. this factious truelly will build a very rotten government. we will see highest getting 30 points unless this ritual of releasing examination papers b4 examination day continues. but am nt much worries coz everyone knws what MALAWI is, so dont eager to enjoy good life out of frames
komatu penapake zinthu sikuyenda bwino ayi eish kwenikwrni mukufuna chani a maneb aaaaaaa
Izi nde za ntiiiiii
Tizikhozabe zimenezo moti next exams kukubwera anthu 50 a 6 points,revise work mwana akalephere.
finally after a long tym since JC is now useless in the moden world l love the idea but they must aswell introduce A level certificate or rathar than one finishin form 4 apitilize mpakana form 6 and that mean Alevel certificate must be introduced
Even MSCE is useless now, and soon just very soon diploma will also mean nothing, why adding more job to something which is useless now, M.S.C.E Level has alot of job alrdy, isn’t that easy to cover form 3 wake and 4rm 4 wake, and they are nw thinking of adding another more job on top of another one which was alrdy there. The idear is rubbish, I disagree with that I dea!
Akufuna kuchulukisa chiwelengelo cha mbuli mmalawi…..

We will talk and talk but I dont see any strict measure which can bring about a reverse in their unpleasant plans. They don’t listen to what the public is crying for .
Foolish decision

And Here comes dpp supportes… lord have mercy
That’s one of the shortfall from the DPP lead govt,they can’t see beforehand this is a big blow to our girls who easily succumb to things of the world.If any prospective president would want to seduce my vote,i will surely go for that who is going to introduce form 6,,,that’s three certificates or 2 certificates,form 3 and 6
This is Childnes Idea
What about when for example English or chichewa literature syllabus changes at form 1 level, will someone who has failed form 4 and wants to repeat, start all the way from form 1?
PSLCE amayambira za ku Junior Section, so izozo aaaa pali chani pamenepo?
Total madness
piece of cake
Zovuta kwambiri,tikayankhula muzititukana.Chabwino langa ndi funso:Ndiye kuti pamenepa zikuyenda? aziwelenga bwanji anthuwa pokonzekela mayeso?
This is rubbish in its nature should it be like this coz it means the examinations are now made easier. Again the abbreviation should change. In our days that meant work from Standard 1 – Form 4. (Grade 12) hence Malawi Schools Certificate of Education. So Malawi school does not start at Form 1 but Std 1,. That’s why we used to have questions like (x – 4 = 5 ) whereby in Std 1 it comes like ( – 4 = 5) and teachers ask learners to find box in Std 1 while Form 4 they say Find the value of X. Should you fail to find the value of X then ask your youngest brother or sister to help you find the value of the box. Then you will see who deserves to be in Form 4 btn the two of you
Kkkkkkk
Zili bho
The problem is that Malawi Institute of Education (MIE), MANEB and Ministry of Education are really failing malawians. Why not revising the education system that malawi is following. Imagine how kamuzu made our education system! primary school is 8 years and secondary is 4 years and college is 4 to 6 years. if a pupil starts school at 6 and want to a doctor then must spend 24 years if he hasn’t repeated a class. So a 24 year person is grown up and is driven by money hence all he does is for fast riches. When given a job he start thinking of how to get rich and indulge in corruption hence the country doesn’t progress! One way of making a country rich is to reduce school leaving age. If students spend more time in school they become unproductive. Imagine the kamuzu academy system why not following it as other countries do (eg Zimbabwe)? imagine the age that a pupil leaves primary (14 years)! Crucial age of any child is between 6 to 12 so at this age of 12 make a huge workload for the kid to master (from Std 1 to 6) then should graduate to high school (by a national examination). At this age (6-12) expose the learner to various disciplines like art (fine and performing), science, business, modeling, designing, vocational skills, etc. Then allow the child to choose their discipline of specialty in Std 7 to proceed with it as a life time career up to tertiary level! But malawian system is a prison type of education system where every one follows an instruction to become no one knows. Why forcing every one taking subjects prescribed as medicine? imagine someone could have been a doctor but derailed because the chichewa subject just excited him and choose to be a teacher on the way! There is also another problem in malawian education system. There is a very wide gap between college and secondary work. eg science student will leave secondary without knowing any basic calculus but caught in surprise to find it in college algebra. Why not introducing it in secondary for ordinary maths not in additional mathematics.
I am totally impressed by your comment.To add some salt, Zambia introduced calculus to secondary curriculum after realising there was a wide gap between secondary and college work. Most of the subjects taught at secondary level don’t add up at all when it comes to the tertiary section. Meanwhile, most people find it strange because they are introduced to work they have never seen before!
And I even wrote the MIE in 2011 on this wide gap between college and secondary work to be considered in the new revised curriculum. They just sounded pessimistic on the narrowing of the gap but promised me to be involved in a symposium and shall consider the issue. But the primary and secondary gap has been narrowed
Very powerful observation, brother! Our education system is just bad; not responding to the fast-changing world.
Henry, you are right. And the curriculum is just a copy and paste hybrid. I don’t know what our education researchers really work. They are just a waste of resources to our economy.
Worst idea from worst mind

sukulu yasanduka business. maiko ena mwana akamaliza nasary school they graduate kupatsidwa certificate kupita kukayamba standard 1 ku primary. certificate ndichisonyezo choti wakhoza mayetso komaso its part of encouragement to the student sikuti certificate ndichida chufunira tchito iyayi certificate encourages people to do better or be proud of themselves. two years or two classes at secondary level ayenera muthu apangidwe certified ndi ministry of education kuti munthuyo wakhoza or analephera ma subject ati. four years it’s too much to test yourselves Malawians
To say emphatically, standard of education is decline slowly by slowly as a result productivity will be poor
mmmmm nde ufiti koma mukufuna ana akhoze kapena azilakwa inu munkhoza ma 40 points bt it was jst form 3 & 4 nde wat more ikhale kuyambira form 1,2,3 & 4 ana aphula kanthu koma
Malawi government is just adding problems rather than reducing , for any ruler that has been ruling the country , malawi hasnt changed instead its drowning more … there has been no change … the economy is ruined

U MANEB or MOE guys be realistic,munthu wa F4 wokut akuyembezera kupita ku college azikalemba mayeso zinthu za F1? For what? Really things r not ok in Malawi and Malawi is sinking.
This time I believe Malawi will produce more failures than passers, if two class exam failed some students what more four class work, will those with small memory card able to add more data in their heads up to a level of acquiring a pass?
Nosense for maneb
Kkkkkkk dats shit how can a student manage to install all de staff ..

we are waiting patiently to see its effectiveness.
MANEB examines the work from form 1 to form four already since learning is a continuous activity. Imagine someone is asked on dichotomous key in Biology paper 2 isn’t that a JCE work already? However, am afraid with the ‘revised’ curriculum that had started last academic year. The reviewed curriculum is continuous assessment based hence using raw grades of a learner in every activity. However, MANEB as a certifying body will use standardization to certify the pupils which is a different assessment instrument. Shall MANEB collect continuous assessment results of candidates from their schools to determine results? If yes then the system needs a lot of resources which is costly than it is now. I feel like the education stake holders should bang heads on the curriculum targets and assessment values otherwise we will have half baked citizens through SCAR.
